Hi friends,
I'm just accepted in Chalmers, and I should start my studies from the coming semester. I need some help communicating with the students studying in the program I'm accepted on. the program is Bioinformatics and Systems biology. I want to talk with them specially in order to find out which books are required for my program and then which ones I can bring from Iran.
I'll be thankful if you help.

- A week sounds quite reasonable for finding a desirable place.
- You can find a list of hostels in GBG in this link: page by CIRC. Chose one near to Chalmers! Use eniro.se or hitta.se for finding their address on map.
- I opened a new discussion thread for finding roommates. You may add a request there to find a roommate.

Oh! I see.Then I guess i've been unlucky so far, but who knows luck may come tommorow
about your suggestion I would like to ask some more questions :
-Is a week enough in your opinion? or I should come sooner?
-then where do you recommend for that temprory stay?
-are there any iranian students (among girls of course) who might be seeking for a very nice roommate! even for a short period, that you
you might know par hasard( be tor tasadofi) ?
-am I asking too many questions? :)
Thanks a lot
Elnaz

Hi,
About http://www.studentlya.nu :
This website only provides space for showing ads. It is not responsible for contract or any other services.
In case of private renting, usually landlords decide how to handle the contract. (or have it at all. without contract they don't have to pay tax…)
The best way to find accommodation: move to Göteborg as soon as you can. Then you can use help of Chalmers Accommodation Office to find a place, check the online ads and go and see different places and find the best one which suits you. Finding accommodation online isn't impossible but sure it's hard and depends on your luck!
Wish you luck,
Mehdi

Hi everybody,
I encounter problems, finding a proper accommodation
I’ll start my studies in Chalmers 1 September 2008, but
I have not yet been able to find any accommodation in Goteborg.
The Chalmersstudentbostader section for International students had no available accommodation since the results were announced!
The SGS requires the visa which in my case will be ready in a few days, however it seems it has got a long queue so I don’t know if I can count on that at all!
I also have been trying on Boplats, for more than a month but I just keep receiving the message “ you are not among the applicants …..”
So I really don’t know what else I can do! I would appreciate any comments, help, advice etc.
By the way I have not understood how it works on Studentlya. For I received an offer from a Swedish family who had a spare room but I really couldn’t imagine how I can trust them at all!! So my question is Who is in charge of contracts there and how they should be managed( I mean the contracts), is this site just putting adds or it has other services? Will you please give me some guidance about this site.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

In case of appartments of chalmer studentbostader, you put two names in the contract. Apartment amenities are for one person but you can add some stuff like bed by yourself. However, it is possible find some stuffs like chairs and bed stand free of charge.
In case of other appartments, it dpends on the landlord!

Benefits of renting accommodation from Chalmers students bostader are: (from my point of view)
- Nearness to Chalmers
- Student base environment
- Good enough services
However, getting a room from Chalmers is kind of hard for new student. Your best chance is to rent an apartment with someone else for first six months or first year.
Check out the accommodation page of the website for more information…

Finding a job here is NOT a simple task. I suggest not basing your expenses on finding a job here. Although you may find a job in few months but it depends on your opinion on an appropriate "Job" and mostly on your Swedish language skills.

Yeah, Fysiken ticket is about 75 kr. But if you are really interested you may get a card for 3 month (with student discount) to use other services than football salon.
Weather isn't good for outdoor football which are usually cheaper or free of charge…
